59: The auction begins

Central State!

Tianming Holy City!

“Have you heard? In Southern State, a Wang Family suddenly rose, annihilated a Profound King-level Dynasty, subdued the other four King-level forces, and unified Southern State!”

In recent days, as the date of the Mystic Antiquity Auction House’s auction approached, Tianming Holy City was bustling with activity!

“No, buddy, which mountain were you Cultivating in seclusion? This happened months ago!”

“Exactly! Let me tell you, Eastern State is even more explosive. The two families from Yunluo City and the Three Families Alliance led by the Fang Family started a war. Guess what happened?”

A shifty-eyed young man brought explosive news!

“The two sides started fighting again?”

“What happened? Did the Three Families Alliance win?”

In the Ming Domain, the Three Sects stood supreme, and below them were the Profound King-level forces, of which there were fewer than fifty in the vast Ming Domain. Therefore, although the Six Families of Eastern State were not in Central State, they, as Profound King-level forces, received much attention!

Many people in Central State knew about the enmity between the two forces!

“Yunluo City won. All the powerhouses of the Three Families died!” the young man said, his face filled with shock!

“What? Are you sure? Those are Profound King-level forces! Yunluo City had a considerable gap compared to the Three Families!”

Everyone exclaimed!

The young man explained, “That was before. But for some unknown reason, the two Old Ancestors of Yunluo City both stepped into the Profound King Middle Stage. They didn’t expose it at first. Only after all the powerhouses of the Three Families left the great formation of Canglan Ancient City did they immediately unleash their full Cultivation and wiped out all the powerhouses of the Three Families!”

“This…”

Everyone didn’t expect Yunluo City to have such good fortune!

“Speaking of which, when my Family went to Xizhou (Western State) for trade, Xizhou (Western State) was also very chaotic. The Profound Nether Hall, which had been suppressed for several hundred years in Xizhou (Western State), suddenly made a strong comeback and declared war on the Chaotic Demon Sect, Qixing Tuan (Seven Stars Group), and Youhun Tang (Nether Soul Hall). Now the entire Xizhou (Western State) is engulfed in war. I heard that King Realm experts have already fallen!”

Someone from a trading Family said!

“What exactly happened? First Southern State, and now Eastern and Western States! Is the Ming Domain going to fall into chaos again?”

Someone was worried.

“What’s there to fear? We are in Central State, with so many major forces stationed here. How could it become chaotic!”

“That’s true!”

Everyone nodded one after another!

“Hard to say…”

A young man listened to everyone’s words and shook his head slightly!

“Teacher, what should I do now?”

The young man looked at the jade pendant on his chest!

“No rush! First, go to the Alchemist Guild and become an Advanced Great Master Alchemist. Use the Alchemist Guild’s channels to leave the Ming Domain. If nothing unexpected happens, the Ming Domain will fall into great chaos. Only the Three Associations and other external forces can remain detached!”

An aged voice echoed in the young man’s mind!

The young man was none other than Xu Qian, who wanted to join the Hundred Herbs Pavilion!

Due to the strong rise of the Wang Family, the old man in the jade pendant divined a hexagram and learned that the Ming Domain would face great chaos. So, after a period of hardship, he came to Central State, and his Cultivation also broke through to the Yuan Ling Realm!

At this moment, he was going to participate in the certification for an Advanced Great Master Alchemist!

One must know that Xu Qian was only twenty, yet he could refine Advanced Profound Grade Medicinal Pills. This could be considered an Alchemy prodigy even in the Ming Domain!

At the same time!

Buzz buzz buzz!

A treasure ship, emanating an ancient aura, arrived from afar and soon reached the sky above Tianming Holy City!

“Hiss? Which force is this? They dare to fly directly over the Holy City? Aren’t they afraid of the Ming Family’s wrath?”

Someone exclaimed!

Tianming Holy City, as the center of the Ming Domain, had a City Lord from the Ming Family. This was a Family with a Legacy spanning hundreds of thousands of years. It was said that multiple Sealed Venerable powerhouses had appeared in its ancestry, ruling the Ming Domain for tens of thousands of years!

But even powerhouses, like the Sealed Venerable, only had a Lifespan of ten thousand years. After that, the Ming Family still maintained a strong trend, with many Heavenly King Realm experts in the Family. It wasn’t until ninety thousand years ago that the Ming Family encountered a calamity, and only by expending all its foundation did it preserve the Ming Family!

But even so, until ten thousand years ago, the Ming Family still had Heavenly King Realm powerhouses and had always been the dominant force of the Ming Family!

However, ten thousand years ago, with the end of the last Heavenly King’s Lifespan in the Ming Family, no Heavenly King Realm expert appeared in the Ming Family again. But relying on its foundation, it remained the strongest Family below the Three Sects, and even the Three Sects were unwilling to offend it easily!

Therefore, for someone to control a treasure ship above the Holy City at this moment was simply a slap in the Ming Family’s face!

“Besides the Three Sects, which other force in the entire Ming Domain dares to do this? These are people from the Tianhe Sect!” Someone sneered, revealing the origin of the treasure ship!

“So it’s the Tianhe Sect!”

“Just now, people from the Jade Maiden Palace and Yuhua Sect also entered the Mystic Antiquity Auction House. To attract the three major overlords, the allure of this Heavenly King Pill is indeed significant!”

“That is a Heavenly King Pill. It represents a Heavenly King powerhouse. If a Family produces a Heavenly King powerhouse, it means they can ascend to the position of an overlord!”

Everyone looked at the treasure ship, discussing animatedly!

Immediately after, the next scene shocked them immensely!

“Hiss~, that’s the Shadow Sect!”

“Profound Extreme Gate!”

“Azure Cloud Gate!”

“Zhang Family!”

...One powerful Family force after another arrived. Although these forces couldn’t compare to the Three Sects, each Family had powerhouses at the Profound King Perfection stage!

Everyone understood that today’s Mystic Antiquity Auction House auction would cause a scramble among Central State forces, even triggering a great war!

For a time, some were fearful, some were indifferent, and others were even expectant!

The Mystic Antiquity Auction House was the largest building of the auction house, capable of accommodating tens of thousands of people bidding simultaneously!

As various forces entered, the auction was about to begin!

“Welcome, esteemed guests, to the Mystic Antiquity Auction House for this auction. This auction has many exquisite items and will certainly not disappoint you all!”

“Now, I announce that the Mystic Antiquity Auction House auction officially begins!”

A voice filled with majesty rang out!

“Heavenly King!”

The expressions of the various forces in the venue changed, and they looked fearfully towards the back of the auction house!

Apparently, for this auction, the Mystic Antiquity Auction House in the Ming Domain had dispatched experts to prevent anyone from causing trouble!

“I’ve waited a month, and it’s finally here! Let chaos reign!”

In a private room, Yun Qian shrouded himself in a black cloak!

Just then, a fervent cheer erupted from within the auction house!

It turned out that a beautiful young woman in a red palace gown, with a graceful figure and exuding an alluring aura, walked onto the stage!

“It’s Madam Yang!”

“I didn’t expect Madam Yang to actually host the auction!”

“Madam Yang, look at me! Look at me!”

“If I could have a meal with Madam Yang, I would die content!”

“Are you trying to have a meal, you brat? Don’t think I don’t know what you’re scheming!”

“Hmph!”

...As soon as this beautiful woman appeared, she immediately aroused the fanaticism of many ‘wolf-friends’!

Madam Yang, the person in charge of the Mystic Antiquity Auction House, a Fengwang Realm Martial Artist. It was said that she was a widow, and at that time, neither her strength nor her background was something ordinary people could covet!

“Everyone, for this auction, due to the preciousness of the items, I will be hosting it for you all!” Madam Yang smiled charmingly at everyone!

Then, the first item was brought up!

“The first item, King Conferring Pill!”

Madam Yang took out a jade bottle!

“King Conferring Pill? It’s actually a King Conferring Pill!”

As soon as Madam Yang’s voice fell, someone in the arena immediately shouted!

The preciousness of the King Conferring Pill could be seen from how Profound Darkness Two Elders sought an Opportunity for Breakthrough. If they had had a King Conferring Pill back then, they would not have appeared in Southern State, nor would they have met Xu Qing!

“I didn’t expect the first item to be this. How precious must the subsequent items be?”

The hearts of the various forces burned with eagerness!

“Esteemed guests, I presume everyone knows the use of the King Conferring Pill, right?” Madam Yang chuckled!

“Madam Yang, please state a price!”

A lord of a force said!

Everyone echoed, those Marquis Realm Martial Artists were already impatient!

“The starting price for the King Conferring Pill is ten thousand high-grade origin stones! Each bid must not be less than one thousand!”

Madam Yang no longer wasted words!

“Hiss~”

Those Martial Artists with insufficient financial resources gasped!

Ten thousand high-grade origin stones, ordinary Marquis Realm experts simply couldn’t afford it!

“Ten thousand high-grade origin stones!”

An old man at the Peak of the Marquis Realm was the first to speak!

“Thirty thousand high-grade origin stones! My Hungry Wolf Gang is determined to get it!”

“What kind of dog stuff? My Wolf Slaying Gang offers thirty-one thousand!”

“Damn it, I offer thirty-three thousand!”

...After a round of bidding, the item fell into the hands of a Fengwang Realm force!

The auction continued!

It must be said that the Mystic Antiquity Auction House was the largest auction house in the Ming Domain. One auction gathered countless treasures. In a short time, dozens of King-level Heaven And Earth Treasures were auctioned off, including many Profound King-level treasures!
